Making Supply Chain Resilience Possible

摘要

Organizations often sacrifice supply-chain security for efficiency, but they can have both. With the rapid growth of outsourcing to partners and suppliers around the world-and the increased reliance on sole sourcing-supply chains have become fragmented and brittle. Organizations naturally want their supply chains to be resilient. The trouble is that the measures that bring supply chain resilience, such as buffer inventory, redundant sourcing and continuity planning, are often sacrificed for speed and efficiency.
